PANDA!

First of all, PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA!!!! Ok, I got that out of my system.....Panda.

I'm so excited for Mists of Pandaria. Which apparently my phone now autocorrects. Anyway, Monday Blizzard released all this new info for MoP and this includes RED PANDAS! Ok, yeah as in a previous post we know that we're able to play as Pandas, but red Pandas?! with a TAIL!?? HAPPY! And I think the closer it becomes and the more things I hear about it, the more excited I get. Plus new glyphs for Druids and a bunch of other things that are, some little, some not so little, but exciting non the less. Beta testing has started although I'm still patiently waiting for my email to join up as I opted for the annual promise thing that Blizzard started that got you in on Beta testing, but there are all kinds of live streams going right now so you can see the intro world. I'm trying kinda of not to watch it so it's new and more exciting when I get to Beta, but I really want to see how the Pandas roll.


In other news, I jumped on the Hunger Games train. Not hard core, but I read the first book in a day and a half and I just started the second (I love used book stores). In my opinion it's not Harry Potter obsession/excitement worthy, but it's a hell of a lot better than Twilight...and yes. I have read all of the Twilight books and seen the first movie. So it's not like I'm talking out of my ass when it comes to Twilight and the sparkly vamps(So glad I grew up with Buffy and not Bella btw.). And yes, I did read the Twilight books like crack when I did read them but seriously?Abusive stalker boyfriend. Team Cedric all the way. Anyway the Hunger games is something I always saw on the shelves, and have thought about buying it a few times, but I never did. Maybe it was the teenagers killing each other. I don't know. But I always heard from other people online or at the book store that it was good, that I would like it. So now with the movie coming out (today I think) I thought, eh, what the hell. I'm on vacation. So I read it in a day and a half. Partly because my Uncle also wants to read it and partly because I wanted to see what happened next. So I did like it. and I do want to know what happens next. I love that the story is basically about survival. There is a slight love story, but as I read on a different site, it's pretty secondary. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so I won't say to much, but it's a good story that we need post twilight. Looking online at Hunger Games stuff I've seen more TEAM KATNISS stuff than Team Gale or Team Peeta(which I haven't decided who I like better as I've only read the first book and Gale is barely in it) which I think is awesome because it shows that a girl can survive and have support from the fans, that not everything is about finding/choosing the guy. Team Katniss in my opinion is awesome because it is okay to like a girl on her own. For her to want to support her family and take care of her town. To not let anyone down, especially herself. Girl power. So, like I said, it's pretty good awesome. Not HP caliber but still decent writing and a good read. (Feel free to spam me with your opinions on this)

Until next time,

and Oh yeah,

PANDA!
